 Posted: Mon, 30th Dec 2013 16:49 Post subject: PSU advice |
|
 |
I'm currently in Amsterdam with some friends and i need a cheap PSU to put in an i5-3570k small pc (no vidcard, 1 SSD, 1 optical drive).
I recommended them the Corsair CX430M, but now TWICE already the damn thing broke down within a few weeks..
So instead of swapping it for another one of those, i will ask them to replace it with another PSU.
And recommendations for a cheap (but good) PSU? Doesn't need to have 600+ watt.

I'd recommend Sirtec, other PC has a 500W PSU 80+ from them and it had no problems until now. PC Before that had a Sirtec 450w, it died after five years.
Sirtec HPC-500-G12S Element Bronze is the model in the second PC.

What about a be quiet! System Power 7 350W?
Silent, efficient and cheap enough. That system will never need more W anyway.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

That's because it's Seasonic 
@ saus: make sure to get a 2012+ model from Be Quiet! if you're going for that. Those run on FSP's new platform, which is much, much better than the old one.
Otherwise, there's a fair few Seasonic units around the same price point (S12G, G series) too.
Avoid the new Corsair CS series too, they're very mediocre. |

I guess cheapo seasonic is always a good choice.
